 JB> That one stuck out to me as well.  I couldn't ever remember Kirk

 JB> I think it was a ploy to make TOS viewers sit up and say "What?!"
I know some people have already mentioned this, but the writers were
referring to the TOS episode, "Requiem For Methuselah."  It is the one where
the Enterprise encounters a man who has lived for centuries.  He is now 
alled
Mr. Flint, but he claims he was da Vinci in an earlier century.  He's the one
who constructed the Android, Rayna.
